Increased State Minimum WageThe current level is too low. Let's raise it to at least $15.00/hr, index it to cost of living indexes, and protect everyone's current rate over minimum (no one should lose their pay raises due to a rise in minimum wage); by mandating all previous pay rate adjustments & premium pay over minimum be applied to new current minimum rate.

Labor ReformRepeal all Michigan Right To Work laws and craft legislation which allows the option for any worker to join any (relevant to profession/job) trade union, without needing to organize the workforce first.
